Biography
Big Bow was born in 1833 at Elk Creek in the Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma, United States). Big Bow was active in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas as a Kiowa chief during the Indian Wars, raiding the lands of both the United States and rival tribes of Native Americans. Big Bow joined Lone Wolf and Quanah Parker in fighting the US Army in the 1874-1875 Red River War, as Satanta did not name him as one of the leaders of the Warren Wagon Train ambush of May 1871. In January 1875, he was one of the last war chiefs to surrender to the United States, and he died on a reservation in 1900.
